The self-produced album has been critically acclaimed by journalists, and given airplay both in Norway and around Europe. 'Gunnar Halle has taken place among the leading trumpet players from Norway. Halle not only plays beautiful and unique with a warm and inquisitive expression - he also debuts as a singer on the title track where his falsetto voice draws inspiration from female Bollywood singers'. -Tor Hammerø, Tor De Jazz.
